Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finished going thru the hydraulic system for my 4 wheel drum brakes. Did the rears couple of weeks ago. No issues except a lot of moisture and crud in the wheel cylinders and a worn star wheel on the adjuster. Finally got to the front ones yesterday. No leaking and really in good shape inside, no moisture that I could determine. But what a pain getting the wheel cylinders off. the bolts are almost behind the spindle frame. And looks like the drums are close to end of life. Linings like like new hoses are date coded 12-31-01 and in pretty good shape. Looking into a disc brake upgrade.
